Based on phylogenetic analysis of sequence data, Aspergillus section Usti includes 21 species, inclucing two teleomorphic species Aspergillus heterothallicus (= Emericella heterothallica) and Fennellia monodii. Aspergillus germanicus sp. nov. was isolated from indoor air in Germany. This species has identical ITS sequences with A. insuetusCBS 119.27, but is clearly distinct from that species ba...

This paper is in line with the previous publication on the wood inhabiting Hyphomycetes from Gilan province (Iran). As a results, 22 taxa were identified which are listed as follows: Arthrinium state of Apiospora montagnei, Arthrinium saccharicola, Arthrobotrys sp., Berkleasmium sp., Clonostachys rosea, Cryptocoryneum sp., Cylindrocladium colhonii, Dendrostilbella sp., Dendryphion comosum, Endo...

In this study, a taxonomic status of the genus Roemeria in Iran is reviewed. The study of morphological characters of collected and herbarium specimens led to the introducing of two new taxa, namely, R. hybrida subsp. maculata and R. refracta var. alba. In addition, five synonymies are made as following: R. refracta var. albomarginata and R. refracta subsp. occidentalis as synonymies of R. refr...

A new genus and species of panchaetothripine thripid, Stosicthrips szitas, apparently related to Parthenothrips dracaenae, is described from leaves of a cultivated Grevillea (Proteaceae) in central Queensland and also at Perth, Australia. In another genus, Bhattithrips, a new species B. borealis is described from northern Australia, and the four members of this Australian genus are distinguishe...

In the framework of study on wood inhabiting Hyphomycetes in Gilan province, Iran, during 2002- 2003 eighteen taxa belonging to different genera were identified as follows: Chloridium botryoideum, Dendryphiopsis atra, Epicoccum nigrum, Periconia minutissima, Periconia byssoides, Periconia sp., Phaeoisaria clematidis, Pseudospiropes simplex, Sporidesmium adscendens, Sporidesmium brachypus, Spori...

New taxa, notes, and new synonymy in Neoibidionini (Cerambycidae, Coleoptera) are given. New taxa are described from Ecuador: Compsibidion inflatum sp. nov., Bezarkia gen. nov. and B. suturalis sp. nov., Corimbion antennatum sp. nov. and Neocompsa muira sp. nov.; from México: Neocompsa chiapensis sp. nov., and from French Guyana: Kunaibidion giesberti sp. nov. Pygmodeon maculatum Martins & Gali...
